Chmielewski Christmas lights display

For the past 12 years people from around the area have stopped by the Alan Chmielewski home on Kennedy Avenue and 23rd Street in Bismarck to make a Christmas memory. Chmielewski said it takes nearly a dozen family members more than two months to set up the annual Chmielewski Christmas lights display that he said can draw up to 1000 people of all ages on any given night. The Chmielewskis took down the display Friday after hearing about complaints from a neighbor. For more photographs go to www.bismarcktribune.com.
